  • This is my video and tour of my game collection and how it came to look like this!
    It´s trendy to say Its “Underconsumption Core” is probably to stretch it. But as a gamer, movie watcher, collector and to cram that in a small game room and try to buy used, make diy projects and mainly keep to the Essentials is more and more a thing I thrive after. I know essential and collector doesnt really fit together and it can always be better and have less.. but hope you catch my drift?
    It´s the same with being minimalist. I dont see myself being that, but I am going for the clean and sharp look and still having a collection and showing who I am and what I enjoy. So in better words would probably be: simplified and less is more? Dont really know what to call it, but I do know culling down the collection and curated it for my tast is the best thing I have ever done for my game room and my soul.
    I hope you enjoy and please drop a comment if you have any questions or you can relate to this.. Thanky you!

    One of the best collections I ever seen! Many People just fill their shelfs with tons of games they won't even ever play. This is why I prefer your collection. I like to have two collections. The first one is like yours where only the games you like are visible on a shelf. The second one is just for having a complete collection and can be stored in the basement or somewhere like that. Anyway, really nice gaming room!

    Good concept, that I have similarly applied. I recently also limited myself artificially in my own office. I now choose to collect only good first party (or close to) Nintendo titles in a large bookshelf and only on that one. I buy less but only boxed, except for the NES which is too expensive boxed and look nice loose, and non players choice games. For SFC N64 and GC + GB GBC GBA, I sold my PAL copies and moved to japanese boxed games, with a lot of pleasure, they look so nice and I made a nice check back from selling my PAL collection of those. I resold most of the loose copies I had and various games I had no connections to that I only collected for the sake of collecting, which I am now against. For Wii WiiU and Switch I have stayed with PAL (French) while the prices are still resonable.
    I cheated a bit by having my PS1/2/3 collection and my boxed collection of every console stored in my room at my parents house, but I do plan on doing the same thing with the SONY collection at some point once I finish Nintendo, adding just another bookshelf. I am contemplating selling most of my SEGA stuff that I accumulated over the years without any nostalgia for it as well, someone else would enjoy more than me the SEGA stuff I own.

I am really enjoying it and love to design and get everything to add up and "connect" the entire room. I often take the aesthetics into account before anything 😅

    I try to avoid collecting for the sake of collecting, but its very tempting. I am currently talking myself out of collecting wireless-mod retro controllers lol
    I have a N64 and a SNES wireless-modded controller, but im very tempted to purchase the mod kits for a NES and Gamecube controller as well even though I rarely emulate those systems. I just think they would look cool on display, but only so much space for decorative things.
    I think your display is very nice looking, not cluttered btw. I think there is a fine line of collecting vs cluttering and a lot of it is defined by how big your space is; too much stuff in a small space looks awful but so does too few things in a large space imo.

    • @MrSkovdal
      @MrSkovdal  Місяць тому

      There are so many rabbit holes to avoid, so I know the feeling 😅
      So the modding is done on a original controller? Actually never thought about that. Always just buy a wireless third party controller 🙈
      If it’s only for the looks, check out my corner controller stand for my n64 controllers. They are with wires and original, but the stands really hide the cables good. I hate cables! but never really notes them 😊

    Agree with all. Most hardware gonna die in 100 if not 50 years and the truth is that we are just collecting art in cardboard/plastic boxes for display. Mostly every game can be downloaded and played in order to not compromise the delicate hardware in it and we can just focus on things that we had or never had and enjoy.

    This looks awesome! I feel like Players choice and platinum games can look alright as long as they're all on their own seperate thing from the normal game cases. Like having Gamecube games, then your players choice titles right next to it still on the same shelf.

    • @MrSkovdal
      @MrSkovdal  Місяць тому

      Thank you 🙏 Yeah, if they were on separate shelves, it would look good. Having them on the same shelf separately, even in alphabetical order, would mess it up for me.
      Some of the Player's Choice/Platinum editions are better displayed than others. For instance, the PS1, PS3, and GameCube versions have a flat and bad color choice compared to the standard versions. On the other hand, the Wii and Wii U editions are more discreet (on the spine, at least).

      So how I got the game metal slug on sega Saturn is very awesome!
      So I usually start my day working with the trash walk where I get a bag and a shopping cart (also a broom and dust pan as well) so while I was cleaning up the cigarette bench there was a sketchy person in there he was changing his clothes (in public) so I had to let the people from lost prevention know what’s up!
      And apparently this guy was stealing things (maybe clothes?) and the people from LP let me know that because I turned the sketchy guy in (after he stole things) I got $11 so I got the game metal slug!
      As for how I got the game salamander
      I was house sitting for my family as they went out to go see grandma and grandpa it started out fine I went and saw this weird movie called “kinds of kindness!”
      And then (again I started the trash walk) where LP alerted me about some guy wearing his underwear (and nothing else)
      And a few days later the family dog escaped (after I let him out in the backyard!)
      Yeah it wasn’t fun at all!
